Hey everyone...
Wow-- life is sure keeping me busy lately! Not a lot of extra time on my hands which is why I'm not on here as much....
Worked last night on cleaning the carpets at the old house so that we can get the keys turned in and be done with it! Brought the cleaner home and cleaned the couch we got off craigslist for our new family room. I was surprised to see how dirty the water was from that! The couch is a blue color, so doesn't show much dirt, but the water told the story :)
Got some bad news from my oldest this morning.... The full time job she's had for the last six months let her go this morning 'due to the economy'.... She is very upset, understandably. She lives on her own with a roommate. Their lease is almost up on their apartment, so they have been looking at moving into a different place, which, of course, takes money. Luckily, she just started a part time job as well, so she won't be completely without income, but definitely not what she was used to. It makes me so sad to see her going through this. She is such a good kid. I guess sh** happens in life, even to the best of us, huh?
I also had something interesting happen in my new job.... instead of having 7 stores to oversee, I now have only 3 (as of November 4). Four of my stores were sold! I was really surprised at first and a little upset as I was looking forward to the challenge of running the 7 of them and improving them, but now I'm looking at it as this will give me the opportunity to really focus just on the 3 and get them in tip top shape... Still loving my job :)
We've been in the new house for about 3 weeks now. We're all getting settled. Got a message from one of my son's teachers last week, though, saying that he is not being responsible and personally accountable. Had a talk with her and explained that he was the only one of the kids who was not looking forward to this move and that he is probably rebelling somewhat, but I think that with her help and the involvement of both my hubby and I, he will come around. This is also his first year of middle school, changing classes, higher expectations, etc. It all takes some adjusting.
Haven't got back into a workout routine, but am doing better on the nutrition side. Trying to eat smaller amounts more often and staying within points range. Not seeing huge improvement in weight, but not seeing it go up, either :)
Well, off to do some more UNpacking. Just wanted to stop in and say hi. I'm going to visit some journals and see what's going on....
Miss ya all! Talk again soon....
